May 7, 2024 - Ruby in color with a wide brown/ brick rim.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing black fruits with wood, earth, vegetables, spices, tobacco leaf, bitter herbs and peppercorn.
Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 14 year old Brunello lost a lot of its fruits at this point. Soft and elegant. Earthy and better with food.
I paired it with a prosciutto and arugula pizza.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.

April 28, 2024 - This one didn’t need a decant in my opinion. I’ve opened some brunellos this vintage that have, and had an ‘06 that completely transformed for the better with a decant. This one’s ready to go. Tannins had smoothed out in this bottle. Hints of clove, leather in the back behind the dark cherry you’d expect in the front in a B.

April 18, 2024 - The 2010 Il Poggione has consistently improved every year starting 2021. Now, in 2024, it has really opened up and balanced, and it's wonderful. In contrast to earlier years, when it was overly astringent, now it is well integrated and a real treat. Hard to put it down!
